Dating back to 1819, Shene is a noble sandstone estate on the outskirts of Pontville, 19km south of Kempton. Sure, the old architecture (and occasional polo matches) are amazing, but these days it's gin that's the main lure here. Buy some from its roadside stall on a Sunday, or book a weekend distillery ($35) or estate ($25) tour to get a good look at the place.
